I enjoyed when the DS started showing "Pac-Man", and I'm enjoying it for the Switch. However, for some reason I don't understand, most people find it incredibly boring when Nintendo leads. The Switch eating up more than 50 percent of hardware is very exciting to me, but there's clearly something very wrong about it.

Almost feels like everybody got invited to the party, but not so many have showed up.

Well in the DS years, DS had a Pacman, but the rest of the market was really healthy. We're talking about a console that sold 8M and then 7M in back to back years. Now the Switch may have a Pacman, but it's doing alright (it's tracking close to the Wii thus far, which wasn't that great in JP), but the rest of the market is pitiful. PS4 was doing like the PS3 but now is plummeting the past couple of weeks and the 3DS is fading away normally, which leaves pretty much nothing...

Japan don't like PS4 as the rest of the world. Well there are hints about shortages, but at this point and after a couple of weeks I like to think Sony don't have a lot of interest to sell hardware in this market.
